Alexander: Three investors ready to buy Nutrien plant

Min­is­ter in the Min­istry of Hous­ing Phillip Ed­ward Alexan­der says he is not par­tic­u­lar­ly both­ered by the shut­down of Nu­trien’s ni­tro­gen op­er­a­tions at Point Lisas, ar­gu­ing that he still be­lieves the coun­try is in a “good place” in terms of its en­er­gy sec­tor. He claims that three en­ti­ties have al­ready reached out, show­ing in­ter­est in ac­quir­ing the busi­ness.

Speak­ing with Guardian Me­dia as he ar­rived to at­tend a sit­ting of the Sen­ate yes­ter­day, Alexan­der said he was con­fi­dent in the abil­i­ty of the Gov­ern­ment to nav­i­gate any un­cer­tain­ty, not­ing that there was still “hope” for de­vel­op­ment and growth in en­er­gy.

While he did not iden­ti­fy those who ex­pressed in­ter­est in ac­quir­ing the com­plex, Alexan­der said such re­spons­es from pri­vate in­vestors were in­di­ca­tors of how well the coun­try’s eco­nom­ic prospects were.
